Chapter 576 (1/2)

When there were only ten minutes left before lunchtime commenced, the girl with black-framed glasses arrived again. However, she didn’t go to line up straightforwardly, but walked straight towards Zhou Jia.

“Jia Jia, is there Roast Goose today?” The girl with black-framed glasses didn’t carry her big backpack this time, but still wore easy-to-move-about clothing. As usual, she spoke gently.

“I’m sorry, Jia Yi. Boss Yuan didn’t cook this dish today.” Zhou Jia looked at the girl and said with an apologetic tone.

“Okay. Thank you, Jia Jia.” The girl with black-framed glasses, namely, the girl called Jia Yi by Zhou Jia, lightly nodded her head and then left.

“Wait. Jia Yi, how long will you stay here?” Zhou Jia asked hesitantly.

“About five days.” Jia Yi thought carefully for a while and then said.

“Well, I heard there was a patch of lavender outside the third ring road and you can make the essential oils by yourself. Are you interested in going there for a look?” Zhou Jia racked her brains and suddenly thought of the matter that she was told by others. Then she smiled and told her immediately.

“Okay. I’ll go there and look around today. Thank you.” Jia Yi said happily.

“You are welcome. Goodbye.” Zhou Jia waved her hand and said goodbye.

Once Jia Yi left, Zhou Jia immediately turned the head and took a look at Yuan Zhou. By then, there were only five minutes left before business time would commence. It appeared that Zhou Jia wanted to say something, but felt embarrassed to speak.

Zhou Jia turned the head repeatedly. In less than two minutes, she had turned the head for quite a few times.

“It shouldn’t be very busy at noon today.” When Zhou Jia turned the head again, Yuan Zhou suddenly said that.

“Ah? Never mind, boss. I’m not tired.” Zhou Jia answered subconsciously.

“Um.” Seeing the earnest expression on her face, Yuan Zhou only nodded the head without saying anything.

“Boss, actually I want to ask a question.” Zhou Jia said in one go.

Yuan Zhou didn’t answer if she could or not, but gave her some attention. He stopped his hands and looked at Zhou Jia.

“Well, a person has been asking about the Roast Goose for a whole week. I want to ask when this dish will be served again.” Zhou Jia asked straightforwardly. After that, however, she felt a little uneasy.

Previously, she had never asked Yuan Zhou about the arrangement of any specific dishes and just worked hard every time. Having asked that in this way for the first time, Zhou Jia felt a little bit perturbed. After all, there were indeed quite a few people who came to ask about the Roast Goose every day.

“What shall I answer if Boss Yuan asks me why I ask so?” Zhou Jia slapped herself secretly in her heart and felt a little regretful.

“Within these few days, but it is still unconfirmed.” Yuan Zhou said lightly.

Though Yuan Zhou didn’t tell her the exact time, he told her it would be served within these few days and that was already considered his the best answer. After all, Yuan Zhou hadn’t said things like it depended on the mood of the goose or himself.

“I’m sorry, boss.” Zhou Jia lowered her head and was a little uneasy.

“Never mind.” Yuan Zhou didn’t really care about that and nor did he ask why Zhou Jia inquired about that.

“Um. Thank you, boss. You are a nice person.” Zhou Jia appeared to be touched and then said without the least hesitation.

On hearing that, however, Yuan Zhou didn’t feel very happy. Are you kidding! Aren’t the words “You are a nice person” given to those nice guys that wouldn’t be able to find a girlfriend?

“I’m not a nice person.” Yuan Zhou contradicted her with a solemn look and added inwardly that “I’m a prince charming.”

“Well, you are always right.” Zhou Jia was accustomed to the way Yuan Zhou spoke, thus she just said replied with a smile.

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t find anything wrong. He returned to his position and wiped the azure stone countertop again before washing his hands, preparing for the customers’ order.

After she got Yuan Zhou’s sort-of-affirmative answer, Zhou Jia was very happy. When the closing time arrived, she immediately sent a text to Jia Yi to tell her this good news.

Jia Yi was a person anyone could feel close with. Even if Zhou Jia knew later that she was actually a pale, pretty and wealthy girl, she still liked her very much.

On the contrary, she felt that Jia Yi was even better. Because of that, Zhou Jia helped her to ask Yuan Zhou concerning this question. If it were others, she wouldn’t say anything, not to mention going to bother Yuan Zhou.
